New York’s view of the “Great American Eclipse” — when the moon will align with the sun in a path visible from coast to coast for the first time in 99 years — begins at 1:23 p.m. Monday and ends at 4 p.m., with a two-minute peak of darkness at 2:44 p.m.

It won’t be a total blackout in the city — New York will see a 71 percent eclipse. But it will still be quite a show.

Once you take the proper precautions, including donning special NASA-approved solar eclipse glasses, “[just] look up,” said Laurie Cantillo, a rep with the Planetary Science Division at NASA.

“Try to get into an open area where you can get a good, clear view of the sun . . . maybe some areas in Central Park,” she told The Post.
